Abstract
While the diagnosis can be made on the basis of an unstructured interview, and this is the way mostly followed in everyday clinical practice, the quantification of symptomatology and of various deficits is quite a different issue. Although the clinical opinion can give a rough impression of the ‘quality’ of the clinical picture and its ‘severity’, and most important how they change from one time point to another, such estimations are largely idiosyncratic.
